Getting dependent records in $dataProvider variable - php

Question

i have two tables tbl_entries and tbl_votings
tbl_entries -> id, othercolums
tbl_votings -> id, entry_id, othercolumns
i want to show data in zii.widgets.CListView from the tbl_entries if users have voted for the entries.
i am able to run below sql query successfully.
select * from tbl_entries where id in (select tbl_entries.id from tbl_votings where entry_id = tbl_entries.id )
how can i do in YII style so that i can show result in CListView?

Answer 1

in Entries model add relation:
...
'votes' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Votings', 'entry_id'),
...
Then search via AR:
$records = Entries::model()->with('votes')->findAll();
Hope this helps.

Ok, i missed word "if" in your post, and thought you need entries ONLY if users voted for it. Read update below for right code. I leave you the first part just in case you need it in the future. INNER JOIN will take entries ONLY if that entries have at least 1 vote.
------------------ FIRST PART (wrong) --------------------
Declare a relation inside your Entries model:
public function relations() {
return array(
'votes' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Votings', 'entry_id'),
);
}
And when you create your data provider do it like this:
$dataProvider = new CActiveDataProvider('Entries',
array(
'criteria' => array(
'with' => array(
'votes'=>array(
'joinType' => 'INNER JOIN'
)
)
)
)
);
This will not create you the SQL you have written above, but this will do it the right way.
The SQL will look similar to this:
select * from tbl_entries t INNER JOIN tbl_votings v ON t.id = v.entry_id
----------------- SECOND PART (right) ------------------
Update
Ok, so if you simply need to get entries and votes for them you do the same relation declaration from first part:
public function relations() {
return array(
'votes' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Votings', 'entry_id'),
);
}
And you create your data provider like this:
$dataProvider = new CActiveDataProvider('Entries',
array(
'criteria' => array(
'with' => array('votes')
)
)
);
